New Order

by

We’ve talked about Paths and Legacies already, so we’re past due to talk about the Orders. If Path and Legacy are broad and narrow definitions of magical style, how a mage works her magic, then it’s the job of the last axis of character definition to provide the why, when, and where. From a game … Read more

Death is the Road to Awe

by

Hey folks! It’s another busy week in Awakening towers, as I’m sick. Powerful, addictive painkillers sick. Also, I’m woefully behind on a few things (thanks, in part, to the sick) so I can’t spend the time the Orders deserve to explain how they’re changing. This is for the good, though, as the Council of Free … Read more

Legacies

by

Legacies As mages interact with the Mysteries, their gnosis grows, deepening their understanding of magic and developing into a unique style. In game mechanical terms, exposure to Mysteries earns Arcane Beats and Experiences, which you spend on traits relating to your character’s personal grasp of the Mysteries — Path Arcana, Praxes, and Gnosis. If Order … Read more

(Pan)Demonic

by

Hello once again! Legacies is currently ranked in first place on last week’s poll, with roughly two-thirds of the vote.

One Pack, Many Prey

by

Oh, that’s where you are! Why didn’t you say so? You did? Sorry, I was up past my ears in stuff for… well, other books being announced at GenCon right now. Anyway, the others are all there and I’ve got keys to the blog. David Hill’s around here somewhere, and he has comitted bloggeration, but that was in another timezone, and besides, the draft is red.

Yes, that’s the Jew of Malta in the opening paragraph. I don’t get out much.

Let’s start with some news. As revealed at GenCon today, the Idigam Chronicle is no more. It’s now Werewolf: The Forsaken Second Edition. I’m really quite excited about that. It’s the same great book I’ve been telling you about, but now the title’s not going to confuse anyone.

Awakened Inspirations

by

Welcome back! It’s my last day at home before starting the Ohgod miles journey to Indianapolis and GenCon, but I think the poll on the last post is now comprehensively won by “Consilia,” and I thought I’d put the next post up. Speaking of GenCon, I’ve now had the working draft of Fallen World Chronicle … Read more
